So basically, if we “bleed green”

In general, team selections in 2024 have been good. We’ve seen players dropped and cup form rewarded but it’s just the Mooney non selection (amplified by him being off contact) which is puzzling and frustrating. Sasagi has been playing very will at second row in cup and I suspect he will come on af...

Given the amount of double digit half time leads we’ve blown in our time, I wonder whether Rick should be saying anything in the sheds at all…

So which club do we think Mooney will be carving up at next year? Get your guesses in… I reckon Melbourne That makes sense. Bellyache can chalk up yet another W over his mate Rick. Bellamy sends us his spuds, and in return we send him our up and coming talents! Heck don’t give them ideas. Wonder wh...

I think the Sharks trainer should be tasered. Or be forced to watch 12 continuous hours of Raiders grindball highlights A Clockwork Orange style. Eyelid clamps and the 12 hour montage with The Mighty Green Machine played an octave lower on repeat. “OK Holdsworth, here’s every failed Raiders crash b...

I think bringing Woolford into the side would see an immediate improvement in our go forward. Our clear strength as a team is our forward pack and our pack has been beaten two weeks straight. I still think Levi's service and guile is not good enough. I like the other things he brings to the side bu...

Rickmando

I’d like to see Mooney and Sasagi come in

Rickmando

Hors is exactly the type of guy who would respond to a rocket and a gauntlet thrown down this week. I’d be keeping him. I think Rick’s finger is very itchy when it comes to hitting the Savage eject button however. I’m promising myself not to be surprised and lose my cool on Tuesday when Savage is dr...

Let me be clear - I’m not pinning the loss on Fogarty. Rarely would I pin any loss on an individual player anyway, it’s rare you can attribute such a belting to one specific cause. What I’m saying is - when we go behind on the scoreboard, or even when we enter a period where the momentum is swinging...

Rickmando

Hudson Young needs to understand he’s on the Refs tip sheet, for pushes, strips, hold downs, face pushes, step off the mark, etc. He needs to focus on avoiding anything the refs are going to call him out on. He’s not helping himself or the team by playing without enough control of his mind or his m...

Rickmando

So you’d rather Dean Hawkins? Aidan Sezar? He is no worse than say Chad Townsend. The difference between us and say the Cowboys is that we don’t have other spine players like Tom Deardan, Scott Drinkwater or Reece Robson but instead have Jordan Rapana, Ethan Strange and Danny Levi. Our problems run...

Rickmando

Really? Have you watched any football. People really go overboard after a loss. Btw I’m not saying he is great but there are some very ordinary halves going around I certainly have my friend. I just did the exercise - the only two #7’s named in sides this week who I prefer Fog over are Drew Hutchis...

Rickmando

Ricky royally pissed off in the presser. No blaming refs which is good, not his standard petulant "What did you make of it?" retorts. Brutally honest. This is reassuring. As with most of our losses, looking in-house is really where to start the blame game. (Goes equally for the man in the...

Re: Fog Mostly he's been good, really good so far this year. He wasnt great tonight but i think that's just about his limitations. We're not talking about a top 8-10 half here There is a reason the club is going hard at Sanders. That’s generous Bot. There’s probably only 1 or 2 halfbacks in the com...

I’d pick him again next week.

Quality player who is short of a gallop. And I reckon he’d be filthy with the way he played.

I’d have him take it out on the Eels pack next week rather than some rando’s in NSW Cup

Rickmando

I’m also Fogartys biggest hater but I’m giving him a shocker after the first 3 rounds. Nothing against him as a bloke, and he’s a perfectly fine player to have in your 30 as a back-up half. But we are paying him decent money to be our starting #7. And really that’s what is depressing, knowing that ...

Rickmando

I don't mind Fog, I think he is a great system guy. I just think he isn't that guy under pressure. We need Strange and hopefully Chevy to be that guy. Apart from his long kicking, he looks completely overmatched to me out there. Worse still, he has Timoko sitting out there on that side just itching...

Rickmando

I love what Morgan Smithies does defensively, he works so hard and does a lot to cover up holes around that area... and im willing to give him time, it took the other english exports time id like to see where he's at in 3-4 weeks time... but with the ball in hand, he's going to have to develop an o...

Rickmando

Definitely, young needs to be dropped to let him know he is playing like a plodder, he currently offers nothing. Not One Thing. Again though who are we replacing him with? This is the problem with our squad - we literally have no second rowers I’m not sure it matters who you replace him with. He’s ...

Rickmando

Players reading their own press. We've played outstanding the last 3 games and then dished that up. Horrible. I hope the players get absolutely shredded this week. Leaders of the team need to have a look at themselves and front up. We lacked energy and our focus on the simple things just wasn't the...

Rickmando

With Hoskings most likely out next week Young avoids any questions but we really need a lot more from him. Too many errors and penalties and he’s getting regularly monstered I can’t quote it off the top of my head but I fear he’s another one of these blokes we’ve handed over a good bloke/too long/t...

Rickmando

Some criticism for Fogarty. He's not the reason why we lost. The whole side was bad. Sharks B side pack dominated ours and gave them momentum. Hynes and their wingers applied the icing on the cake. Ata and Saulo were good, the rest poor. Horse and Young in particular. Young is just a niggler and st...

Rickmando

Ricky needs to stick with this team. It is the better team. He just needs to remind them the game isn’t won in 20 mins. I'm bemused at how you've drawn that conclusion. Watching them play? It's been a woeful performance. Shows where you're head is at. Today wasn't NRL standard. We never defended we...

Rickmando

We started better than most years but we're back to being Ricky's Raiders. A 65 minute football team with a coach incapable of fixing it. Nailed it Squigs. It’s been happening for 10 years, it’s not random bad luck, it’s very much a pattern that has formed. (And 65mins is generous, we rarely play m...

Agree. Sooner we move on from Fogarty the better.

I’d even give Weekes a crack. I’ve seen enough of Jamal

Fogarty just kicks it away?

No footy IQ
